ExxonMobil hands Guyana US$460M bill covering pre-discovery operations


Minister of Natural Resources, Raphael Trotman

Guyana is now hurrying to put measures in place to monitor and assess cost recovery claims. However, it has already tied itself to the repayment of US $460,237,918M. This is according to the 2016 Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) that Minister of Natural Resources, Raphael Trotman signed with ExxonMobil.

Annex C of the contract speaks to Cost Recovery. The list of items to be included in this aspect is vast.

One of the many expenses that Guyana will have to stand is what is referred to as “pre-contract cost.” The pre-contract cost is referred to in the contract as the “cost incurred by contractor with petroleum cooperation carried out pursuant to the 1999 Petroleum Agreement.”

The PSA said that this sum shall be “included” in the pre-contract cost.  The PSA states that the pre-contract cost “shall include four hundred and sixty million, two hundred and thirty seven hundred thousand and nine hundred and eighteen United States Dollars (USS 460,237,918) in respect of all such costs incurred under the 1999 Petroleum Agreement prior to the year ended 2015,

“and (2) such cost as incurred under the 1999 Petroleum between January 1, 2016 and effective date which shall be provided to the Minister on or before October 3, 2016 and such number agreed on or before April 30, 2017. For purposes of this paragraph, the term pre-contract cost includes contract costs, exploration costs, operating costs, service costs, and general and administrative costs and annual overhead charge as those terms are defined in the 1999 Petroleum agreement.”

According to ExxonMobil’s website, even though the agreement was signed since 1999, the company only initiated oil and gas exploration activities in Guyana in 2008, collecting and evaluating substantial 3-D seismic data that led to the company safely drilling its first exploration well in 2015.

Wikipedia states, “Oil exploration is an expensive, high-risk operation. Offshore and remote area exploration is generally only undertaken by very large corporations or national governments. Typical shallow shelf oil wells (e.g. North Sea) cost US$10 – 30 million, while deep water wells can cost up to US$100 million plus. Hundreds of smaller companies search for onshore hydrocarbon deposits worldwide, with some wells costing as little as US$100,000.”

The PSA signed by Trotman also ensures that Guyana stands the cost of even the interest added to loans taken by ExxonMobil for the purpose of the operation.

The PSA states, “Interest, expenses and related fees incurred on loans raised by the parties  comprising  the contractor for petroleum operations and other financing costs providing that such expenses are fees and costs consistent with market prices.”

Jagdeo is de centre of everything

Every living thing that can breathe and smell love sugar. You put down sugar, ants, bees even li’l children does push dem tongue in it.Sugar mek Jagdeo, that scamp, learn to thief. He mamma use to send him to de store to buy groceries and he use to full sugar in ee pocket.

He tun president and decide that nobody must eat sugar suh he bruck up de sugar industry. He buy a US$8 million corn flour plant fuh grind sugar cane at Skeldon and seh he pay US$200 million.De thing never grind a pound of cane. De workers use to throw balls inside and de factory couldn’t grind dem workers balls. It surely didn’t grind Jagdeo own.
That was de beginning of de collapse of de sugar industry. Now this scamp putting blame pun Komal Chand and others.
Is de same thing he do wid thiefing Exxon. He sign a secret contract giving away all of Guyana to de oil company. Today he blaming de new govt.De oil company give Guyana a bill fuh US$460 million from 1999 to 2013, de exact period when he, Jagdeo, was president.
Exxon did only buy a few plane tickets to come here and meet him over those years and now we hearing that Guyana owe US$460 million to Exxon even before dem bring a hose, a pipe or a generator.
Dem boys seh that half of that money is kickback to Jagdeo, money that he done collect. That was de beginning of kickbacks to dem politicians and it continue to today.
No wonder he can build a US$5 million mansion when his entire life salary ain’t even meet US$1 million, even if he never spend a dollar from it. And de US$5 million don’t include de half million US chandelier.
If you think dem boys incorrect, do de Maths. Check wheh he wuk, how much he use to get against his mansion alone.
Talk half and hope Exxon stop de scampishness and look back at de contract wha dem using to rob de babies of dem milk in Guyana.

Maybe. It might take a whole generation for Guyana to realize any benefits from oil. Wait a minute. I am thinking of the hiding of the $18 mil(USD). Maybe somebody knew something then.

FM

Yes, at this pace, it will take two generations to receive a few pennies after these clueless clowns destroy Guyana.

Remember, they have not built a toilet as yet.

As for the PPP airport project, they reduced size of the project by 50 Percent and increased the cost by an additional 50 percent. This is your typical PNC style of governing. A bunch of thief men.

They cannot even run a cake shop, how can they run a country ?

Apologies I didn't mean to invoke you.  The $460,237,918 million was signed by Trotman in the 2016 Production Sharing Agreement (PSA), in Annex C of the contract.   I'm sure you have read that contract many many times.

I’m sure that’s predicated on them extracting oil. If oil was never found, nothing would be owed. It’s Exxon cost Recovery model.

Django are you saying the PNC has so much faith in the PPP that they accept blindly and Trotman signed the contract but included bonus. Look at the Trump, got in office and terminated everything Obama had in place. or if not renegotiate all contracts.

When the PNC was in opposition they criticized the PPP and promised Change, they are so ill prepared, what they criticized they now fully Accepted. A bunch of dunces and dunce followers.

"Precontract costs means costs incurred before the effective date of the contract directly pursuant to the negotiation and in anticipation of the contract award when such incurrence is necessary to comply with the proposed contract delivery schedule. These costs are allowable to the extent that they would have been allowable if incurred after the date of the contract"

Is it not the subject of discussion ?

With the constant decline of the Guyana dollar and the uncertainty in the fluctuations in interest rates who knows how much they will end up paying.  And what other costs are there that we have not heard about??

This is way over the bean counter head.

This is normal. Exxon will want a rapid cost Recovery.  Costs started in 1999 but was a non-issue as long as commercial harvesting was not on the table.  Now that they are ramping up to commercialization, this is (rightly) put on the table.  

Guyana is going through a learning process and should engage experts to help.  Exxon is a pro.  I don’t see what the PPP would have done materially different.

Audit of the costs are appropriate to ensure its valid and fair.  I can see the sticky issue being non-direct corporate allocations. This is always sticky in any contract.  I dealt with this during my career.  In fairness, did the PPP ever asked to see the costs from 1999 - 2015?  The 460 mil includes this costs. Likely not as oil was not yet discovered.  

As Trotman stated, Guyana was in a weak position and Exxon needed incentives to take the bait.  Remember, no oil, Exxon eats all this costs.  Guyana is now way better off going forward with this find. It will no longer be a desperate country catching at any straw.  

Guyanese are so narrow minded, lord help us.  My relatives living in Guyana is taking this is stride.  The diaspora seems more militant, with no skin in the game.  Alyuh just chill lil.

I don’t think it will decline if USD flows into the treasury. Appreciation might be seen but slow as the currency has been debased to these levels.

While the $460M covers cost from 1999 to 2015, was it agreed upon in the 1999 agreement that Guyana would be responsible for that cost sharing or was it agreed to in 2016 when the agreement was revised?

True, everyone getting hyper and carried away.  Let’s hear what the opposition have to say.  They entered into the original exploration contract with Exxon.  They must have a perspective and solid understanding if what’s playing out now was the spirit of the agreement.  

In anycase, I would advise the GOG to engage an expert audit firm to begin to vet what Exxon is charging to the agreement.  Exxon will apply very liberal interpretations that suits their interests.   Guyana needs to have their facts and challenge and push back. This is standard in any such contracts!

NO but I will ALWAYS pick the better of the two. THe EVIL and INCOMPETENT PNC VS THE CARING AND DEMOCRATIC PPP. BALLOT BOX THIEVES ARE NOT LEADERS!!1

Exactly how were they better?

Seems people were complaining of the same things that they are complaining about now...

I agree that there wasn't a plan in place to figure out what will happen to the sugar workers when they became jobless...

SO, why did the PPP lose?

They LOST because a Namakaram Crabdaag promised some a better life, a Democratic, Transparent and humane Govt. Now the people know that they were duped they are not just angry and disgusted but have only Curses and condemnation for the Govt!!

Also, the PPP was lackadaisical, too confident and some Govt officials were acting like Drunk Canecutters. In addition, the British and US Govt as usual did their thing.

SO, why did the PPP lose?

The election was rigged by the ABC countries to have a puppet to control. Why was there not a recount when requested?To make it worst Moses and Rumjaat joined the PNC, sell out the AFC, They are no longer AFC members, what have they done lately for the AFC, NOTHING.

K

Well...if you say the ABC don't want PPP in power, then might as well forget ever being in power

forget about who crossover...that's been happening a long time...Nehru said things were sweet under PPP, if it was so sweet, then they should have won going away

Jagdeo did not listened and followed what the US wanted, he was more independent, The Carter Foundation is more of an arm of the CIA, His purpose was to oversee a fair and free election, but he cut and run before the votes were counted, he was anticipating civil unrest and violence , he knew the rigging machinery was set in place.

 In 2020, should the coalition dissolve, because of greed, well the result can be a free for all election. America already stole what they need, Exxon Mobil control of Guyana Oil, and the setting up of Offices/bases on Guyana's soil.

Guyana too small for a viable Third Party, at the races you have two horses, PPP and PNC, so place your bet, your chances of picking a winner is good, 50/50 one or the other will win.,It will be like that for the next 20 years.

 As PPP supporters,we have two and half years to bring changes, they do listen to the diaspora , and reps from NA do give big donations, thus want to be heard.

 Jagdeo will not run 2020, but paving the way for a qualified successor.

Reading this, the Jagan philosophy still deh round.  Alyuh gon sit on the back bench for a while, just good.  

America will never let at anti US group preside over an oil rich Guyana.  Guyana needs a totally re-educated group to run the PPP, it needs a “Chicago boys” scenario like they had in Chile.  Purge all those anti-American nitwits and move on.  They are not serving the people well and in the best interest!

Dont know why alyuh nah bin run to Cuba when Burnham kick your asses!

BS.  If that mysterious “qualified successor” want to stand a chance, he needs to start pounding the pavement and pressufledh yesterday. Other than that he will just be viewed as a BJ lackey and get no respect from the international community.

The diaspora don’t run Guyana, they are of very limited value except some funds.  Beyond that, the people of Guyana will decide. And BTW, it was a third party which did your PPP in.  And they will do it again if you don’t watch out!

Complaining is a natural human reaction. Even people who have more than they need complain that they don’t have enough. The Coalition use that element to trick Guyanese into falling into the current cesspool. 

Back to the original topic. When was it explicitly agreed upon that Guyana will be responsible for this $460M?

I go to Cuba almost every year, unfortunately you Americans can't.I will be going May this year.

 This has nothing to do with Jagan's Philosophy, I believe in Freedom, not to be controlled by another power be it USA or the British. The colonial days are over, some of you still want to controlled by the MASSA.

 Trump being alyuh president is leading America into Isolation, America dominance is over, the new order will be China, India, Germany.

Guess Cuba was not controlled by Castro for over 50 years

Bai...you emigrate to the wrong country, you should have gone to a free Cuba and lime on the beach...

You ever wonder how Cubans don't have the freedom and money to "travel" like you do?

In terms of new world order...US has elections every 4 years...Trump is just a blip

Every president, except a few are blips in history. Trump will prove to be a very big blip.  There will be books and case studies done on his rise and rule over the country.  Trump will prove to be one of the most unique presidents ever!

As I stated I believe in Freedom, speech,movement,government, control . I being a Canadian I enjoy all of that unlike you Americans. You guys brought up Cuba I didn't.  But there again you never there and don't know squat. I travel a lot and the safest vacation I enjoy is in Cuba. One year I forgot my bag with my wallet sun glass, cap and some other small items on the beach,  the next morning the front desk called me to identify the items and was told an employee found and return it to the office. In my wallet I had Candian, US,and Cuban currency.

Jagdeo did not listened and followed what the US wanted, he was more independent,

What does anything have to do with BJ?  He was not running for office nor was he head of state.   Why does he have to listen, not listen, follow, not follow?  Or was he role playing as a Putinesque side kick?  Alyuh Jagdeoites opaque as a jelly fish!

Look at the PNC slop boy trying to deflect.  Listen Slop Boy, your AFC/PNC friends are a bunch of clowns.

Why don't you show evidence that the PPP signed a better deal with Exxon?

Recall that most of the pre exploration costs were done under the PPP.

Yes whoever follows him in 2020 will have a very big hole to fill in terms of the damage that he would have done.

That is IF he lasts to 2020.  If the Dems seize the House in November the GOP will seek to salvage themselves by ridding the party of the "Trump Curse".

Imagine the Democrats winning a senate seat in Alabama!  A state where only the blacks usually vote for them, this being a mere 25% of the population!
